MOSCOW, January 27 (RIA Novosti) – Russia and Kazakhstan could set
up a regional fund within the framework of Eurasec in an effort to
develop joint economic policy among the bloc’s member-states, the
Russian prime minister told Bloomberg.

Eurasec, established in 2000, is an international economic
organization comprising Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Russia and
Tajikistan. Three other former Soviet republics, Armenia, Moldova,
and Ukraine have observer status.

"For example, we are now considering the possibility of setting up
a small but genuinely functioning fund within the framework of the
well-known integration body Eurasec. Together with Kazakhstan, we
are making arrangements to invest some funds into it by attracting
small but real resources of other countries to use these funds for
development," Vladimir Putin said in an interview broadcast on Tuesday.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
